Some embodiments of the present application are described in detail. In the following embodiments, features of the embodiments may be combined with each other without conflict.

Examples

Referring to fig. 1, the present embodiment provides a water area movable apparatus 300, and the water area movable apparatus 300 may be various water area vehicles such as a commercial ship, a passenger ship, a yacht, a fishing boat, a sailing boat, and a civil ship. Water area movable apparatus 300 includes hull 310 and propulsion 100.

The hull 310 can provide a certain buoyancy so that the water movable apparatus 300 can float on the water surface L1 and can carry people or things. The hull 310 has a hull space Q1 for being able to accommodate people and things or other structures. The specific structure of the hull 310 may be set as desired.

The propeller 100 is mounted to the hull 310 for providing a propulsive force to propel the water movable apparatus 300 to move through the water.

In some embodiments, propulsion 100 is primarily powered by electricity, in which case water area movable apparatus 300 further includes a battery assembly 311 for powering propulsion 100. Battery assembly 311 may include a number of batteries for storing and supplying power to mover 100. Alternatively, the battery assembly 311 employs a rechargeable secondary battery. The battery assembly 311 may be mounted on the hull 310, for example, in the hull space Q1, or may be mounted at a suitable position of the propeller 100.

Referring to fig. 1, the propeller 100 in the present embodiment includes a frame 10, an electronic control assembly 220, a connecting shaft 20, a bottom case 30, a first motor 40, and a propeller 50. The battery assembly 311 is electrically connected to the electronic control assembly 220, and is used for supplying power to the first motor 40 through the electronic control assembly 220. The frame 10 is connected to the hull 310, said frame 10 being provided with a first support 63 and a second support 64, said first support 63 and said second support 64 being spaced apart along the first direction Z.

Optionally, the rack 10 includes a first structure portion 11 and a second structure portion 12, the first structure portion 11 extends substantially along the first direction Z, and the second structure portion 12 is connected to an end of the first structure portion 11 away from the bottom shell 30 and extends toward a side away from the electronic control assembly 220. The first support 63 and the second support 64 are fixed to the first structure portion 11, respectively.

The connecting shaft 20 extends along a first direction Z (in the state of fig. 1, the first direction Z is a gravity direction), one end of the connecting shaft 20 is connected to the frame 10 and can be tilted relative to the hull 310 through the frame 10 (a tilting manner and a structure are described later), the connecting shaft 20 is rotatably connected to the first supporting member 63 and the second supporting member 64, the connecting shaft 20 is spaced from the frame 10, and a spacing space Q5 between the first supporting member 63 and the second supporting member 64 is defined. The bottom shell 30 is connected to an end of the connecting shaft 20 away from the frame 10. The propulsion paddle 50 is rotatably connected to the bottom housing 30. The first motor 40 is in transmission connection with the propelling paddle 50 and is used for driving the propelling paddle 50 to rotate to generate a propelling force.

When the propeller 100 in the embodiment of the present application is used, the propeller 50 may interact with water under the driving of the first motor 40 to generate a driving force for driving the water area movable device 300 to move when the connecting shaft 20 is not tilted.

With continued reference to fig. 1, the electronic control assembly 220 includes a first electronic control section 221 and a second electronic control section 222, the first electronic control section 221 and the second electronic control section 222 being spaced apart from each other and being capable of controlling the operation of the first motor 40. In this embodiment, the electronic control assembly 220 is separately arranged, so that a single electronic control section (such as the first electronic control section 221 or the second electronic control section 222) is smaller in size, which is beneficial to utilization of a smaller space, and the structural layout is optimized, so that the overall size of the propeller 100 is further reduced, thereby reducing the assembly and improving the user experience. And the electric control assembly 220 arranged in a split manner is easy to obtain a larger specific surface area, so that heat dissipation is facilitated.

The first electrically controlled section 221 is accommodated in the space Q5. The electric control assembly 220 is partially accommodated in the spacing space Q5 after being separated, so that the spacing space Q5 can be fully utilized. The split arrangement also avoids the problem that the spacing space Q5 cannot accommodate the electronic control assembly 220 with a large overall size.

In this embodiment, the first electronic control section 221 is fixed to the surface of the frame 10 on the side close to the connecting shaft 20. Of course, the first electronic control section 221 may be fixedly connected to the connecting shaft 20, if desired.

The second electric control section 222 is located on the side of the connecting shaft 20 remote from the frame 10 and is fixed between the first support 63 and the second support 64. Optionally, a mounting plate 69 is connected between the first support 63 and the second support 64, the mounting plate 69 being located on a side of the connecting shaft 20 remote from the housing 10, the second electrical control section 222 being secured to the mounting plate 69. Of course, the second electrical control section 222 could be fixedly attached to the connecting shaft 20 if desired.

Alternatively, the connecting shaft 20 is provided with a shaft hole K1 extending in the first direction Z; the connecting shaft 20 is provided with an opening K2, and the opening K2 is communicated with the shaft hole K1; the connecting shaft 20 is connected to the bottom casing 30, the shaft hole K1 is communicated with the inner space Q2 of the bottom casing 30, and the first electrical control subsection 221 and the second electrical control subsection 222 outside the connecting shaft 20 are routed to the electrically connected first motor 40 through the opening K2, the shaft hole K1 and the inner space Q2. The conductors, in particular for electrically connecting the various electronic control branches and the first motor 40, are not shown in the figures.

With continued reference to fig. 1, in the present embodiment, the propeller 100 further includes a clamp 61 and a raising driver 62, the clamp 61 is connected to the hull 310, the frame 10 is rotatably connected to the clamp 61, and the raising driver 62 is mounted to the clamp 61 and is in transmission connection with the frame 10 for raising the frame 10 and the propeller 50 connected to the frame 10.

The clamp 61 may be fixedly connected to the hull 310 by welding or screwing, or may be integrally disposed with the hull 310.

The frame 10 may be rotatably coupled to the clamp 61 by a rotating shaft member 66.

The raising driver 62 may be an electric push rod, a hydraulic cylinder, an air cylinder, or other devices capable of outputting power. For example, when the tilting driver 62 is an electric push rod, one end of the electric push rod is mounted on the clamp 61, the other end of the electric push rod is a telescopic end, the telescopic end is connected to the frame 10, and the electric push rod can drive the frame 10 to rotate relative to the clamp 61 by stretching, so that other structures (including the connecting shaft 20, the bottom shell 30, the propulsion paddle 50, etc.) connected to the frame 10 rotate and tilt.

In some cases, the first electric control sub 221 and the second electric control sub 222 are fixed relative to the frame 10 and do not rotate with the connecting shaft 20, and at this time, the propeller 50 and the connecting shaft 20 can rotate 360 degrees without being limited by the propeller, so that the mobility of the movable equipment in the water area is improved. The connecting shaft 20 is opened for wiring, so that the wiring length and the wiring number can be reduced.

It is to be understood that the first electrical control section 221 and the second electrical control section 222 are not limited to the above-mentioned exemplary configurations, and any configuration that divides the electrical control assembly 220 into a plurality of electrical control sections is within the scope of the present application. For example, the electronic control assembly 220 may be divided into three, four or more electronic control sections, and the electronic control sections may be disposed in any space on the propeller 100 where the electronic control section can be disposed, so as to fully utilize the structural space of the propeller 100 and reduce the volume of the propeller 100.

With continued reference to fig. 1, in one embodiment, the bottom housing 30 defines an interior space Q2, and the first motor 40 is mounted to the interior space Q2 and thermally coupled to the bottom housing 30.

Because the first motor 40 is disposed on the bottom casing 30 and thermally coupled to the bottom casing 30, heat generated during the operation of the first motor 40 can be transferred into water through the bottom casing 30, so that the heat dissipation effect is good, and the dependence on an additionally designed heat dissipation system (such as an additionally designed air cooling system, a pump element water pumping cooling system, etc.) can be reduced. In the case that the heat dissipation requirement can be satisfied by the conductive heat dissipation of the bottom case 30, the aforementioned heat dissipation system with additional design can be completely omitted.

Therefore, compared to the prior art that the first motor 40 is disposed on water and a heat dissipation system such as a water cooling system is additionally disposed, the propeller 100 in this embodiment has the following advantages: the radiating effect is better, and the heat dissipation route is short, or can simplify/cancel the additional heat dissipation system who designs, and heat radiation structure occupation space is little, simple structure, cost are lower.

In addition, compared with the prior art, the first motor 40 is arranged in the inner space Q2, the relative position of the first motor and the propelling paddle 50 is small, the transmission path is short, and the propelling efficiency is high. Moreover, the first motor 40 is located in the inner space Q2 of the bottom shell 30 and is far away from the user on the hull 310, and in addition, the noise generated by the first motor 40 has little influence on the user due to the absorption and blockage of the structures such as the bottom shell 30.

In this embodiment, the bottom case 30 may be a shell-shaped structure made of a heat conductive material such as aluminum alloy, and the inner space Q2 surrounded by the bottom case is used for placing the first motor 40. A heat conducting structure 46, such as a heat conducting silicone, may be disposed between the first motor 40 and the bottom casing 30. Thus, when the water area movable device 300 is driven, the bottom case 30 is at least partially immersed in water and is in good contact with water for heat conduction, and heat generated when the first motor 40 operates can be transferred to the bottom case 30 through the heat conduction structure 46 and then transferred to water through the bottom case 30, so that heat dissipation of the first motor 40 is realized.

In this embodiment, the propulsion paddle 50 may be a propeller that is driven to rotate to propel the water movable apparatus 300.

Referring again to fig. 1, in some embodiments, the propeller 100 further includes a water pressing plate 70. The water pressing plate 70 has a substantially plate-like structure perpendicular to the direction of gravity. The water pressing plate 70 is connected to the bottom casing 30, and the water pressing plate 70 and the bottom casing 30 may be integrally cast or may be two separately formed members that are connected together by a screw connection, a welding, or the like.

In this embodiment, the water pressing plate 70 is connected to the lower case 30 at a position closer to the upper side (the side closer to the frame 10), extends to the side away from the hull 310, and is located above the propulsion paddle 50. In this way, the propulsion paddle 50 is located at the side of the water pressing plate 70 far from the frame 10, and the water waves caused by the operation of the propulsion paddle can be controlled under the water pressing plate 70, thereby reducing the wave resistance of the water area movable apparatus 300.

In some embodiments, the water platen 70 and the bottom casing 30 are in thermal communication, i.e., the water platen 70 and the bottom casing 30 transfer heat to each other. For example, the water pressure plate 70 and the bottom casing 30 may be integrally formed by the same heat conductive material (e.g., aluminum alloy), or may be connected by a heat conductive material (e.g., metal with good heat conductivity). Therefore, the heat conducted to the bottom casing 30 can be quickly conducted to the water pressing plate 70 and then conducted to the water in addition to being directly conducted to the water, which is equivalent to increase the heat dissipation area. Moreover, for the embodiment in which the water pressing plate 70 is located above the pushing paddle 50, under the pushing action of the pushing paddle 50, the water flows through the water pressing plate 70 at a fast speed, so that heat on the water pressing plate 70 can be taken away fast and efficiently, and heat of the first motor 40 thermally coupled to the bottom shell 30 can be conducted into the water body fast through the bottom shell 30 and the water pressing plate 70.

In some embodiments, the lower surface of the water pressing plate 70 is provided with a water knife plate 71, and the water knife plate 71 is vertically disposed to improve the turning performance of the water area movable apparatus 300.

It can be understood that the bottom shell 30 and the connecting shaft 20 may be fixedly connected, so that the connecting shaft 20 rotates relative to the frame 10, and the connecting shaft 20 drives the bottom shell 30 to rotate, and finally, the propulsion direction of the propeller 100 is turned. The bottom shell 30 and the connecting shaft 20 may also be in a rotatable connection, the connecting shaft 20 is fixed relative to the frame 10, and the bottom shell 30 rotates relative to the frame 10, so as to finally realize the propelling direction turning of the propeller 100.

Referring to fig. 2, in one embodiment, the first motor 40 may be a double stator single rotor motor, including two stators 41 and one rotor 42, the two stators 41 being arranged side by side and electromagnetically engaged with the one rotor 42, respectively, for commonly driving the rotor 42 to rotate. An output shaft 43 of the first motor 40 is connected to the rotor 42 for outputting torque. The use of two stators 41 to drive one rotor 42 can increase the drive force or maintain a smaller cross-sectional area while ensuring a certain drive force. Compared with two thin and short motors which are connected in parallel, the motor has the advantages of being smaller in length and smaller in occupied size.

Referring to fig. 3, in one embodiment, the first motor 40 is a single stator and single rotor motor, and includes a stator 41 and a rotor 42, and the stator 41 and the rotor 42 are corresponding to drive the rotor 42 to rotate. The output shaft 43 of the first motor 40 is connected to the rotor 42 for outputting torque. In order to obtain a sufficient driving force, the first motor 40 is shorter and thicker than the solution shown in fig. 2.

Referring to fig. 4, in one embodiment, the first motor 40 is a single-stator dual-rotor motor, and includes a stator 41 and two rotors 42, and the stator 41 and the two rotors 42 respectively correspond to drive the two rotors 42 to rotate. An output shaft 43 of the first motor 40 is connected to the rotor 42 for outputting torque. The use of two stators 41 to drive one rotor 42 can increase the drive force or maintain a smaller cross-sectional area while maintaining a certain drive force.

Referring to fig. 5, in one embodiment, the first motor 40 is a dual-stator dual-rotor motor, and includes two stators 41 and two rotors 42, and the two stators 41 and the two rotors 42 correspond to each other for driving the rotors 42 to rotate respectively. An output shaft 43 of the first motor 40 is connected to the rotor 42 for outputting torque. The first motor 40 adopts a manner of matching the two stators 41 and the two rotors 42, so that the driving force can be improved, or a smaller sectional area can be kept on the premise of ensuring a certain driving force.

It is understood that a section of the first motor 40 perpendicular to the direction of the output shaft 43 is defined as a cross section. In the embodiment of fig. 2, 4 and 5, the power output shaft of the first motor 40 is coaxial with the power shaft of the propelling paddle 50, the cross section of the first motor 40 is smaller than that of the first motor 40 of the embodiment of fig. 3, and the number of the stators 41 or the number of the rotors 42 is increased in a direction parallel to the power output shaft 43, or the number of the stators 41 and the number of the rotors 42 are increased, so that the power of the first motor 40 can be kept not to be reduced or even increased in the case of reducing the cross section. Under this structure, the resistance of the first motor 40 to the water facing the propulsion paddle 50 is reduced, and the power is not reduced, even can be increased, and because the way of increasing the length of a single stator and a single rotor is avoided, the requirements of easy production and high manufacturing yield of the first motor 40 are met. Of course, the embodiment of the present application is not limited to the first motor 40 in the embodiment of fig. 2, 4, and 5 being disposed in a configuration in which the power output shaft is coaxial with the propeller 50, that is, the power output shaft of the first motor 40 in the embodiment of fig. 2, 4, and 5 may be the power shaft of the vertical propeller 50, or the power shaft of the parallel propeller 50 but offset from the power shaft of the propeller 50.

It will also be appreciated that in the embodiment of fig. 3, the first motor 40 has a larger cross-section than the first motor 40 of the embodiment of fig. 2, 4, 5, while maintaining the same power in the embodiment of fig. 2, 4, 5, in comparison to the first motor 40 of the embodiment of fig. 3. In the embodiment of fig. 3, the output shaft 43 of the first motor 40 may be disposed coaxially with the power shaft of the propeller 50, so that the water resistance of the first motor 40 to the propeller 50 is increased compared to the embodiments of fig. 2, 4 and 5. In this structure, although the propulsion efficiency of the propulsion paddle 50 is reduced by the first motor 40, the first motor 40 still satisfies the requirement of being thermally coupled with the bottom casing 30, and the first motor 40 can still achieve good cooling and heat dissipation through the bottom casing 30, so that embodiments in this structure also belong to the embodiments of the present application. Of course, in the embodiment of fig. 3, the first motor 40 is not limited to the above layout mode in which the output shaft 43 is coaxial with the power shaft of the propeller 50, and the output shaft 43 of the first motor 40 may be perpendicular to the power shaft of the propeller 50, or parallel to but offset from the power shaft of the propeller 50, so as to reduce the water resistance of the first motor 40 to the propeller 50 and improve the propulsion efficiency. In the embodiment of the present application, the position of the first motor 40 is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and any configuration that can satisfy the requirement that the first motor 40 is thermally coupled to the bottom casing 30 and the first motor 40 can perform heat exchange with the external water through the bottom casing 30 to dissipate heat belongs to the embodiment of the present application.

In the embodiment of the present application, the configuration in which the stator 41 of the first motor 40 is disposed on the outer periphery of the rotor 42 and the configuration in which the rotor 42 of the first motor 40 is disposed on the outer periphery of the stator 41 do not belong to the embodiments of the present application.

Referring to fig. 6 (see fig. 1 in a coordinated manner), in some embodiments, the first motor 40 is located on a side of the water pressure plate 70 that is away from the rack 10. At this time, the first motor 40 is substantially located at a portion of the bottom case 30 submerged in water, and can directly conduct generated heat to the water through a portion of the bottom case 30 contacting the water, so that the heat dissipation efficiency is high.

In this embodiment, the first motor 40 may be horizontally disposed (i.e., disposed along the second direction X in the figure) and coaxially connected to the propelling paddle 50. The front end surface P1 of the first motor 40 is attached to the surface of the bottom case 30 near the propelling paddle 50. The front end surface P1 of the first motor 40 is attached to the bottom case 30, so that the heat of the first motor 40 is conducted to the bottom case 30. Of course, as described above, the heat conducting structure 46 such as heat conducting silicone gel may be filled between the front end face P1 of the first motor 40 and the bottom casing 30 to improve the heat conducting capability of the two. In this embodiment, the propeller 50 is optionally rotatably engaged with the bottom housing 30, and the output shaft 43 of the first motor 40 is connected to the propeller 50 for driving the propeller 50 to rotate. In this embodiment, the first motor 40 correspondingly propels the paddle 50 in the horizontal direction, and will cause a certain blockage to the paddle 50, and if the first motor 40 in the form of the aforementioned double-stator double-rotor, double-stator single-rotor, or single-stator double-rotor is adopted, the first motor 40 can have a smaller cross-sectional area on the premise of ensuring the required driving force, so as to reduce the blockage of the first motor 40 to the paddle 50, and meet the requirements of easy manufacture of the first motor 40 and high production yield.

In other embodiments, the first motor 40 and the propulsion paddle 50 may be staggered to reduce the blocking of the first motor 40 to the propulsion paddle 50, that is, to reduce the water-facing resistance of the first motor 40 to the propulsion paddle 50 by reducing the blocking area of the first motor 40 to the propulsion paddle 50.

For example, as shown in fig. 7, the first motor 40 is rotated 90 degrees to move its output shaft 43 vertically and in a first direction Z a certain distance to be offset from the propulsion paddle 50 in the first direction Z, and then the transmission mechanism 80 (e.g., bevel gear pair 801) is used to realize the transmission of 90-degree rotation angle. The bevel gear pair 801 includes a first bevel gear 81 and a second bevel gear 82, the first bevel gear 81 is connected to the output shaft 43 of the first motor 40, and the second bevel gear 82 is connected to the propulsion paddle 50. In this way, the power of the output shaft 43 of the first motor 40 can be transmitted to the propeller 50, and the propeller 50 is driven to rotate. The first bevel gear 81 and the second bevel gear 82 can be in equal ratio transmission, and can also be in speed reduction transmission or speed increase transmission.

In this embodiment, the first motor 40 is vertically disposed, and the stator 41 and the rotor 42 of the first motor 40 are housed in the internal space Q2. A heat conductive structure 46 is provided between the stator 41 and the rotor 42 and the inner wall of the bottom case 30 to achieve thermal coupling with the bottom case 30. Specifically, the heat conducting structure 46 is heat conducting oil for soaking the first motor 40, that is, both the stator 41 and the rotor 42 are in contact with the heat conducting structure 46. A heat conductive structure 46 is injected into the inner space Q2 defined by the bottom case 30, thereby thermally coupling the first motor 40 with the bottom case 30. On one hand, the heat conducting structure 46 can transfer the heat of the first motor 40 to the bottom case 30, so as to achieve heat dissipation and cooling of the first motor 40; on the other hand, the heat conducting structure 46 has an insulating and lubricating effect, so as to ensure that the stator 41 and the rotor 42 are in an insulating environment, and reduce the internal rotation resistance of the first motor 40 by lubricating the stator 41, the rotor 42 and the output shaft 43. Optionally, the first motor 40 further includes an oil throwing structure fixed to the output shaft 43, and the oil throwing structure is accommodated in the internal space Q2 and used for throwing the heat conduction oil to the periphery of the first motor 40, and finally, the heat conduction oil uniformly contacts the surface of the first motor 40 and then flows to contact the inner wall of the bottom case 30, so as to achieve uniform heat dissipation of the first motor 40. Of course, in other embodiments, the heat conducting structure 46 may also be a heat conducting silicone disposed between the stator 41 and the bottom case 30, or a heat conducting cotton disposed between the stator 41 and the bottom case 30, or a heat conducting metal disposed between the stator 41 and the bottom case 30.

Referring to fig. 8, the transmission mechanism 80 between the output shaft 43 of the first motor 40 and the propulsion paddle 50 may further include a speed change assembly 802. For example, the speed change assembly 802 is constituted by a speed change gear set, and the speed change assembly 802 includes the first gear 83, the second gear 84, the third gear 85, and the fourth gear 86. The output shaft 43 of the first motor 40 is connected with a first gear 83, the first gear 83 is meshed with a second gear 84, the second gear 84 and a third gear 85, and the third gear 85 is meshed with a fourth gear 86, so that the first gear 83, the second gear 84 and the third gear 85 are fixedly connected with each other to rotate at the same speed, and the propulsion paddle 50 and the fourth gear 86 are fixed with each other to rotate at the same speed. In some embodiments, the speed change assembly is a speed reduction mechanism, and the first motor 40 outputs a reduced speed and an increased torque to the propulsion paddle 50.

In this embodiment, the speed changing assembly 802 may be integrally integrated with the first motor 40. That is, the first motor 40 is a reduction motor with a reduction mechanism.

The transmission mechanism 80 (e.g., the transmission assembly 802 and the bevel gear pair 801) in this embodiment can be integrated in the bottom case 30 to dissipate heat together with the first motor 40, thereby reducing the requirement for an additional heat dissipation structure. The first motor 40, the transmission mechanism 80 and other structures are integrated with the underwater part (including the bottom shell 30), so that the material consumption of the shell can be reduced, and the resource waste is reduced. The integrated arrangement of the first motor 40 and the speed changing assembly 802 can also reduce underwater water resistance. The integration of the propeller 50 and the transmission assembly 802 also reduces the number of bearings required. The speed change assembly 802 is disposed in the underwater portion of the propeller 100, and noise is isolated by water, so that sound is reduced and influence on a user is reduced.

In some embodiments, the first motor 40, the speed change assembly 802, and the propeller 50 are all coaxially disposed. The portion of the speed change assembly 802 located on the axial direction of the output shaft 43 is defined as a motor shielding portion, and the speed change assembly 802 may partially constitute the motor shielding portion or may entirely constitute the motor shielding portion. The cross sectional area of the motor shielding part of the speed changing component 802 in the direction perpendicular to the output shaft 43 is smaller than the cross sectional area of the first motor 40 in the direction perpendicular to the output shaft 43, so that the water facing blocking surface of the propelling paddle 50 cannot be increased by the speed changing component 802, the shielding of the speed changing component 802 and the first motor 40 to the propelling paddle 50 is small, the propeller 100 is guaranteed to reduce underwater resistance, the thrust of the propelling paddle 50 and the gear axial force of the speed changing component 802 are offset, and the service life of a bearing can be prolonged.

It should be noted that the bevel gear pair 801 and the speed change assembly 802 in the transmission mechanism 80 may be disposed in neither (as shown in fig. 6), only one (as shown in fig. 7 or fig. 8), or two (as shown in fig. 9) connected in series between the first motor 40 and the propeller 50.

In other embodiments, the transmission mechanism 80 may also be in other forms, such as belt transmission, chain transmission, etc., which are not described herein.

In the foregoing embodiments, the first motor 40 is located below the water pressing plate 70 (far from the side of the rack 10), and in other embodiments, the first motor 40 may be located partially or entirely above the water pressing plate 70 (near the side of the rack 10).

As shown in fig. 10, the inner space Q2 of the bottom casing 30 includes a first space Q3 and a second space Q4 communicating in the first direction Z, the first space Q3 being located on a side of the water pressure plate 70 away from the rack 10, and the second space Q4 being located on a side of the water pressure plate 70 close to the rack 10. The first motor 40 is entirely accommodated in the second space Q4. At this time, the bottom housing 30 is located below the water pressing plate 70, and the first motor 40 does not need to be accommodated, so that the water-facing resistance of the propulsion paddle 50 can be reduced. In the embodiment of fig. 10, the output shaft 43 of the first motor 40 is perpendicular to the power shaft of the propulsion paddle 50, the first motor 40 is not disposed in the propulsion water flow range of the propulsion paddle 50, the first motor 40 is staggered with the propulsion paddle 50, and further the propulsion water flow of the propulsion paddle 50 is not blocked, so that the first motor 40 is ensured to be cooled and dissipated heat through the bottom case 30, the water-facing resistance of the propulsion paddle 50 is also reduced, and the propulsion efficiency is improved. Of course, in other embodiments, the first motor 40 may be disposed in the second space Q4 in such a manner that the output shaft 43 is parallel to the power shaft of the propeller 50.

Of course, the first motor 40 may also be only partially accommodated in the second space Q4, that is, one part of the first motor is located in the first space Q3, and the other part of the first motor is located in the second space Q4, and the output shaft 43 of the first motor 40 may be perpendicular to the power shaft of the propeller 50, or may be parallel to the power shaft of the propeller 50.

Fig. 10 shows an embodiment in which the first motor 40 is vertically disposed and drivingly connected to the propulsion paddle 50 through a bevel gear pair 801. Of course, other arrangements of the transmission mechanism 80 described above are equally applicable to embodiments where the first motor 40 is located entirely or partially on the water pressing plate 70, and are not described in detail herein.

In some embodiments, the propeller 100 also includes a second motor 68. The second motor 68 may be the same or a different type of motor than the first motor 40. The second motor 68 is connected in series with the first motor 40 to propel the paddle 50.

As shown in fig. 11, on the basis of the embodiment shown in fig. 10, a second motor 68 is further provided between the bevel gear pair 801 and the propulsion paddle 50, so that the first motor 40 and the second motor 68 essentially realize the power supply to the propulsion paddle 50 in series. This form increases the total propulsion force and the motor has less effect on the total blocking area of the propulsion paddle 50, especially when the first motor 40 and/or the second motor 68 are in the form of elongated motors (such as the aforementioned dual rotor dual stator motors).

In other embodiments, the second motor 68 and the first motor 40 may be connected in parallel to the propulsion paddle 50. That is, the output shaft 43 of the first motor 40 and the output shaft 43 of the second motor 68 are connected to the propulsion paddle 50 in parallel to collectively propel the propulsion paddle 50 to rotate.

Of course, the embodiment shown in fig. 6 to 9 may also add the second motor 68 in series or in parallel to the transmission path of the first motor 40 and the propulsion paddle 50 to increase the propulsion force or improve the reliability of the power, which is not described herein.

Referring again to fig. 11, the second motor 68 in the present embodiment may be disposed outside the inner space Q2 of the bottom chassis 30. In other embodiments, the second motor 68 may be disposed within the inner space Q2 of the bottom chassis 30 similarly to the first motor 40 and thermally coupled to the bottom chassis 30 to dissipate heat.

The heat dissipation of the first motor 40 and/or the second motor 68 in this embodiment may be achieved in other ways than by the aforementioned heat conduction via the heat conducting structure 46 between the motor and the bottom housing 30.

For example, as shown in fig. 12, the inner space Q2 is filled with a cooling fluid 67 (e.g., water or cooling oil), and the first motor 40 is at least partially immersed in the cooling fluid 67. In this way, the heat of the first motor 40 can be rapidly transferred to the cooling liquid 67 and further transferred to the outside through the bottom case 30. Meanwhile, the propeller 100 may further include a cooling system 90, the cooling system 90 includes a pump 91 and a conveying pipeline 92, the pump 91 is provided with a liquid inlet K3 and a liquid outlet K4, the liquid inlet K3 is used for pumping into the cooling liquid 67, and the liquid outlet K4 is connected with the conveying pipeline 92 for spraying the pumped cooling liquid 67 to the first motor 40.

For the embodiment shown in fig. 10 or 11 in which the first motor 40 is at least partially located above the water pressure plate 70, referring to fig. 13, the first motor 40 can be cooled by spraying water waves from the tail of the ship body 310 onto the outer surface of the bottom shell 30 at the first motor 40 located above the water pressure plate 70 from top to bottom after the water waves from the tail of the ship body 310 are raised while the ship body 310 is traveling. The flow path of the water waves for cooling the first electric machine 40 can be seen as indicated by the dashed arrows in fig. 13.

In the case where the second motor 68 is provided, the electronic control assembly 220 may also be used to control the operation of the second motor 68.

Referring to fig. 14, in another embodiment, the connecting shaft 20 is a hollow structure and defines a shaft hole K1 extending along the first direction Z, and the first electric control section 221 and the second electric control section 222 are elongated and distributed in the shaft hole K1 along the first direction Z. Alternatively, the connecting shaft 20 is connected to the bottom case 30, and the shaft hole K1 communicates with the inner space Q2 of the bottom case 30. The first electric control subsection 221 and/or the second electric control subsection 222 are routed to the electrically connected first motor 40 through the shaft hole K1 and the inner space Q2. In this embodiment, the first electric control section 221 and the second electric control section 222 are disposed in the shaft hole K1, and the electric connection between the electric control sections and the first motor 40 can be realized without forming the hole K2 on the connecting shaft 20.

Referring collectively to fig. 15, in one embodiment, the first electronic control branch 221 is provided with a power board 223 and the second electronic control branch 222 is provided with a control board 224. The control board 224 is electrically connected with the power board 223, and the power board 223 is electrically connected with the first motor 40; the control board 224 controls the operation of the first motor 40 through the power board 223. The electric control assembly 220 is divided into a power board 223 and a control board 224, and the first electric control branch 221 and the second electric control branch 222 which are smaller than the integrally arranged electric control assembly 220 in size can be obtained through the division of the power board 223 and the control board 224.

Referring to fig. 16, in other embodiments, the first motor 40 is provided with two rotors and/or two stators (the first motor 40 is a double-stator double-rotor motor, a double-stator single-rotor motor or a single-stator double-rotor motor as described above), the first electrical control section 221 is provided with a first power board 225, the second electrical control section 222 is provided with a second power board 226, the first power board 225 is electrically connected with one rotor 42 or one stator 41 of the first motor 40, and the second power board 226 is electrically connected with the other rotor 42 or the other stator 41 of the first motor 40. The split form of the electric control assembly 220 is the split form of the power board 223, and the first electric control branch 221 and the second electric control branch 222 which are small in size can be obtained, so that the utilization of a small space is facilitated. Optionally, the first electronic control branch 221 is further provided with a control board 224, and the control board 224 is electrically connected to the first power board 225 and the second power board 226, so as to control the dual-rotor and/or dual-stator operation of the first motor 40 (the first motor 40 adopts a dual-stator dual-rotor motor, a dual-stator single-rotor motor, or a single-stator dual-rotor motor as described above) via the first power board 225 and the second power board 226. Of course, in other embodiments, the second electronic control branch 222 may further include a control board 224, and the control board 224 is electrically connected to the first power board 225 and the second power board 226.

For the embodiment provided with the second motor 68 (see fig. 11), with reference to fig. 17, the first electric control section 221 is electrically connected to the first motor 40 to drive the first motor 40 to operate; the second electrical control section 222 is electrically connected to the second motor 68 to drive the second motor 68 to operate. At this time, the first and second electric control branches 221 and 222 are used to control the first and second electric motors 40 and 68, respectively.

In the propeller 100 of the present embodiment, the first motor 40 may be disposed at an upper position, i.e., a portion of the propeller 100 exposed to the water surface, in addition to the lower position (below the water pressing plate 70) or the middle position (near the water pressing plate 70) in the inner space Q2 of the bottom case 30 as described above.

For example, in another embodiment shown in fig. 18, the connecting shaft 20 is provided with a shaft hole K1 extending along the first direction Z, the first motor 40 is connected to one end of the connecting shaft 20 close to the frame 10, and the output shaft 43 of the first motor 40 passes through the shaft hole K1 and is in transmission connection with the propulsion paddle 50 through a transmission mechanism 80. The transmission mechanism 80 may include the bevel gear pair 801 and/or the speed changing assembly 802, or other transmission mechanisms, which are not described herein. In this embodiment, the first motor 40 is disposed on the top and is closer to the electronic control unit 220, which is beneficial to shorten the electrical connection wires between the first motor and the electronic control unit.

It should be noted that, on the premise of no conflict, the various embodiments shown in fig. 6 to fig. 13 can be applied to the structure of the propeller 100 shown in fig. 1, fig. 14, or fig. 18, and are not described herein again.

The specific structures of the first support 63 and the second support 64 in this embodiment may be set as needed.

It is understood that the shaft 20 is rotatably connected to the first support 63 and the second support 64, so that the shaft 20 can drive the bottom shell 30 to rotate relative to the frame 10, thereby achieving the propelling and steering of the propeller 100. In order to increase the connection reliability of the connection shaft 20 with the first support 63 and the second support 64, as shown in fig. 19, for example, the propeller 100 further includes a first bearing 632 fixed to the first support 63 and a second bearing 642 fixed to the second support 64. The connecting shaft 20 is rotationally engaged with the first bearing 632 and the second bearing 642. Since the connection shaft 20 and the first and second bearings 632 and 642 are in a rotational torque fit relationship, the non-axial torque swing of the connection shaft 20 is reduced. In order to further avoid the non-axial swing of the connecting shaft 20 relative to the frame 10, a first damping suspension 651 for absorbing the pulling vibration force is disposed between the first bearing 632 and the first supporting member 63, i.e., the first damping suspension 651 applies a pre-load force to the connecting shaft 20, wherein the pre-load force is applied to the connecting shaft 20 in a direction toward the hull 310. A second shock absorbing mount 652 for absorbing resisting vibration forces is disposed between the second bearing 642 and the second support 64. That is, the second shock absorbing mount 652 exerts a pre-load force on the connecting shaft 20 in a direction away from the hull 310. Specifically, the first support 63 is provided with a first damping sleeve 631, and an axis of the first damping sleeve 631 is perpendicular to the connection shaft 20 and perpendicular to the second direction X. The first bearing 632 is provided with a first damping shaft 633 penetrating the first damping sleeve 631, and the first damping shaft 633 is elastically matched with the first damping sleeve 631 to realize that a first damping mount 651 is arranged between the first bearing 632 and the first support 63. The second supporting member 64 is provided with a second damping sleeve 641, the axis of the second damping sleeve 641 is parallel to the axis of the connecting shaft 20, and the second bearing 642 is provided with a second damping shaft 643 penetrating through the second damping sleeve 641, so that a second damping mount 652 is arranged between the second bearing 642 and the second supporting member 64. As the vibration absorbing suspensions 65 are disposed between the first support 63 and the frame 10 and between the second support 64 and the frame 10, the first and second vibration absorbing suspensions 651 and 652 absorb the vibration force of the first and second bearings 632 and 642, thereby preventing the first motor 40 from transmitting the vibration force to the frame 10, and apply a pulling force in the first direction Z to the connection shaft 20 by using the first support 63, while applying an abutting force in the second direction X to the connection shaft 20 by using the second support 64, thereby preventing the connection shaft 20 from swinging in the non-axial direction. The connecting shaft 20 may be of a steel structure having high strength, so that the connecting shaft 20 has structural reliability.

It is understood that the connection manner of the connecting shaft 20 and the bottom case 30 and the connection manner of the connecting shaft 20 and the first and second supports 63 and 64 in the embodiment of the present application are not limited to the above-described embodiments.

For example, in another possible embodiment, referring to fig. 20, the connecting shaft 20 may be rotatably connected with the bottom case 30 (e.g., by the bearing 32), and the connecting shaft 20 is fixed with the first and second supports 63 and 64. The pusher 100 may further include a host bracket 33 fixed with the bottom case 30. The host bracket 33 and the bottom case 30 may be integrated or fixed via screws. The propeller 100 further comprises a steering driving mechanism 34, wherein the steering driving mechanism 34 is fixed on the main frame support 33, and applies a rotating torque to the connecting shaft 20 to rotate the bottom shell 30 and the main frame support 33 relative to the connecting shaft 20, so as to realize the propelling and steering of the propeller 100.

In summary, the water area movable device 300 and the propeller 100 thereof in the embodiment of the present application can conveniently realize the tilting of the propeller 50, and the electric control component 220 is separately arranged, so as to obtain a larger heat dissipation area, fully utilize the space, and reduce the overall size of the structure.

Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes may be made and equivalents may be substituted without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application.
